Dr. Devin Gilbert

Biography

I am a translation and interpreting educator, researcher, and practitioner. The language pairs I work with are Spanish-English and Portuguese-English, and I have worked as a freelance translator and interpreter for over five years. I am very interested in pushing technology to make it easier for students to self-evaluate as they practice interpreting skills with authentic materials, and I am always on the lookout for authentic experiential/service learning experiences for my students.
